Strange Catch in the Gyre

Ben's on watch and getting his groove on. He stayed there for hours that day. I get it. Headphones are a great way to retreat from the constant presence of other people. Even if you like all of them, if you are used to some alone time, escaping into music is a way to find space. In fact, I listened to my ipod shuffle-nano-thinga-mer-bob every time I wanted to get some zzzzz's.

This is what a puffer fish looks like puffed up. We spotted this little fish over the side, scooped him up for a closer look and a few snaps.

I was eager to get the puffer back in the water. We did, and I watched as he floated away with its head and gills down, still inflated. Garen said that given a little time, he'd deflate. I hope so.
